                          INTERNATIONAL UNION

                                 ______

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 24, 2002

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to rise today to 
honor a man who has spent more than 35 years fighting for the rights 
and representing the interests of working men and women in Central New 
Jersey.
  Recently, Thomas V. Dooley retired as President of the Middlesex 
County Central Labor Council and from the Paper, Allied Industrial, 
Chemical and Energy Worker International Union.
  Mr. Dooley has spent the better part of his life in service to the 
labor movement and his community. Throughout his career he has served 
as International Representative, President, Vice President, and 
Legislative Coordinator to various Labor organizations.
  Active in numerous charitable organizations, Mr. Dooley is a member 
of the Board of Directors of New Brunswick Tomorrow, the Vice President 
of the David B. Crabiel Scholarship Foundations, and the Assistant 
Treasurer of the Middlesex County Board of Social Services. He has also 
been actively involved with the Middlesex County Heart Association, 
Middlesex County Open Space and Recreation Advisory Board, the United 
Way, and various religious organizations including the Diocese of 
Metuchen and St. Peter's Parish.
  Mr. Dooley has also been very active in the Irish American community 
as a member of the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh of the Jersey Shore, 
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Central New Jersey, and the Ocean 
County Emerald Society. Just this year the Ancient Order of Hibernians 
in America named him Irishman of the Year.
  With Thomas Dooley's retirement, the Middlesex County Central Labor 
Council and PACEIU will be losing a worker, a family man, and a leader 
in the labor community. I want to offer my congratulations and thanks 
for his outstanding years of service. His hard work and dedication to 
the labor movement and his community will be sorely missed.
